If the Aztecs had discovered Madagascar, would they have been able to prevent French colonialism and the European intrusion into the Indian Ocean trade?

But how did they discover Madagascar desu? My own humble theory, which I thought long and clearly of, is that if the Aztecs would seek alliances with the Chinese they would be pretty much instoppable.

>how
Their gods would fly them there.
>alliances with the Chinese
How would that ever happen? They'd have to acknowledge the supremacy of the Chinese Emperor. THey wouldn't want to do that when they could just sacrifice them.
>>1228759
not only that, they would have colonized antarctica
>>1228774
But why would the Chinese emperor and the Aztec emperor not become buddies? Note that Aztec and Chinese metaphysics are also similar. Qi and teotl are very similar.
The Aztecs were an alliance themselves? Why not ally with the Chinese and sacrifice Europeans instead?

>But why would the Chinese emperor and the Aztec emperor not become buddies
Why would they?
>metaphysics...similar
Completely meaningless, are you the same faggot that said that Japanese and Native American metaphysics were similar? I bet you can't even explain what metaphysics is supposed to mean.
>Why not ally with the Chinese
Indeed, why doesn't the most powerful state in the Western hemisphere right now ally with China? Oh, right, because not everything works out the way you think it should, because you're an idiot.

>Why would they?
Trade maybe? For military reasons?
>Metaphysics
I personally would say metaphysics is about views on reality
>Why doesn't the most pwerful state in the Western hempsphere right now ally with China?
Cultural differences, different motivations and aspriations, competition etc.
They got BTFO by 200 spaniards and 2 thousands of stone age Amerindian auxiliaries with less power than them, them Paleolithic niggas wouldn't do shit again France kek,
They never even reached the same civ level as classic Greece in the peak of their civilization , and they're barely comparable to Ancient Egypt or Babylonia and that's stretching it a bit.

>Trade maybe? For military reasons?
Like what? That's very vague.
>metaphysics is about views on reality
That's really vague, every opinion anybody has ever had has been a view on reality.
>Cultural differences, different motivations and aspriations, competition etc.
Well, there you fucking go.
>>1228894
Yeah but Madagascar is in close promixity of Eurasia. Cultural exchange with Eurasia could give the Aztecs an edge to overpower their enemies.
Consider all possible outcomes anon.
>>1228912
>Madagascar is in close promixity of Eurasia
It's down south and too far from Eurasia and the only contact they would have would be with sub-Saharan tribes
>>1228894
>2 thousand
wat. during the siege of tenochtitlan alone historians have estimated that there were between 100 to 150k native auxiliaries
>200 spaniards
tuberculosis and smallpox and native allies did the heavy lifting

Well in this scenario if the Aztec discovered Madagascar they could surely set up trade routes with say India?
Also read this:
>The written history of Madagascar begins in the 7th century when Omanis and Shirazi Persians established trading posts along the northwest coast and introduced Islam, the Arabic script (used to transcribe the Malagasy language in a form of writing known as the sorabe alphabet), Arab astrology and other cultural elements.[33] During this early period, Madagascar served as an important transoceanic trading port for the East African coast that gave Africa a trade route to the Silk Road and served simultaneously as a port for incoming ships. There is evidence that Bantu or Swahili sailors or traders may have begun sailing to the western shores of Madagascar as early as around the 6th and 7th century.[34]
According to the traditions of some Malagasy peoples, the first Bantus and Arabs to settle in Madagascar came as refugees from the civil wars that followed the death of Muhammad in 632.[35]

>what is the battle of Kadesh
When were either of the Inca or Aztec on equal grounds to a Steel Age Empire?
Funny how people talk about 'civ tiers'. Aztecs and Native Americans in general existed in relative cultural isolation. You think that Egyptians and Romans thought of everything themselves? They could achieve technological progress because they lived in a more dynamic environment with a lot of cultural exchange. Think about that for a hour.
